Concentration-dependent antagonism and culture conversion in pulmonary tuberculosis [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
There is scant evidence to support target drug exposures for optimal tuberculosis outcomes. We therefore assessed whether pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) parameters could predict 2-month culture conversion.One hundred patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (65$\$$\$% human immunodeficiency virus coinfected) were intensively sampled to determine rifampicin, isoniazid, and pyrazinamide plasma concentrations after 7–8 weeks of therapy, and PK parameters determined using nonlinear mixed-effects models. Detailed clinical data and sputum for culture were collected at baseline, 2 months, and 5–6 months. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined on baseline isolates. Multivariate logistic regression and the assumption-free multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) were used to identify clinical and PK/PD predictors of 2-month culture conversion. Potential PK/PD predictors included 0- to 24-hour area under the curve (AUC0-24), maximum concentration (Cmax), AUC0-24/MIC, Cmax/MIC, and percentage of time that concentrations persisted above the MIC ($\$$\$%TMIC).Twenty-six percent of patients had Cmax of rifampicin $\$$\$\textless8 mg/L, pyrazinamide $\$$\$\textless35 mg/L, and isoniazid $\$$\$\textless3 mg/L. No relationship was found between PK exposures and 2-month culture conversion using multivariate logistic regression after adjusting for MIC. However, MARS identified negative interactions between isoniazid Cmax and rifampicin Cmax/MIC ratio on 2-month culture conversion. If isoniazid Cmax was $\$$\$\textless4.6 mg/L and rifampicin Cmax/MIC $\$$\$\textless28, the isoniazid concentration had an antagonistic effect on culture conversion. For patients with isoniazid Cmax $\$$\$\textgreater4.6 mg/L, higher isoniazid exposures were associated with improved rates of culture conversion.PK/PD analyses using MARS identified isoniazid Cmax and rifampicin Cmax/MIC thresholds below which there is concentration-dependent antagonism that reduces 2-month sputum culture conversion.
